Semantic MDA for E-Government Service Development

This paper presents an approach to apply the principles of Model Driven Architecture (MDA) combined with a semantic model to the creation of E-Government services. As a result, these services will be available as semantic web services that can be searched for meeting the current goal or desire of a citizen. For this approach to be successful it is important that all required artifacts are automatically generated from the model and that there is no need for manual coding. This ensures short development cycles and fast and easy adaption to shifting requirements. Besides this, the quality and capabilities of the services provided will be significantly improved.
